    I was cleaning out my new tank real good and I only found 1 scratch on the side, its not deep or big, probably wont even be noticeable when its filled, but just because I am very picky when it comes to my tanks, I would like to try to remove it while its empty. are there any home remedies anybody knows about to buff it out? I herd of using toothpaste but I dont want to try that unless somebody else has had sucsess with it. Thanks

    ya the tank is glass. I was reading about that jewelers paste I just dont know where to get it. I was hoping I could just use something around the house or maybe walmart since i live about 100 yards from it lol

    you should be able to find it on ebay. If your town has a jewelry district, you may also get it there

    You might find it at HD or Lowe's. They might have a super fine polishing paste.
